A ruthenium-catalyzed intramolecular cascade cyclization of allene-alkyne has been achieved. This method offers a streamlined and atom-economical approach for the construction of sulfone bearing 1-cyclopenta[]naphthalenes, an important structural scaffold that exists in biologically active compounds. Our approach, backed by mechanistic insights from deuterium labeling, DFT calculations, and potential for reaction scale-up, presents synthetic chemists with an invaluable tool for efficiently producing a distinct carbon framework in a one-pot manner.

Molecular editing of quinazolinones to isoquinolines by a novel ruthenium-catalyzed [4+2] annulation with sulfoxonium ylides has been developed. The method permits the precise and rapid assembly of multisubstituted aminoisoquinolines, a class of heterocycles that play a privileged role in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical development. This new catalytic process exhibits novel programmability, including directed C-H acetylation, nucleophilic cyclization, and alcoholysis.

Photoredox catalysis is important in modern organic chemistry and the development of new synthetic methods. Mechanistic insights, particularly with photoredox chain reactions, are underdeveloped. This study combines quantum yield (QY) measurements, transient absorption spectroscopy (TAS), and electrochemical analysis to rigorously characterize the mechanism and rate constants of a ruthenium-catalyzed photoredox chain [4 + 2] cyclization between -anethole and isoprene.

A simple and efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of a diverse range of aryl-fused indolizin-3-ones through sequential Au(I)-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation, aminolysis, and cyclization, followed by ruthenium-catalyzed ring-closing metathesis. Moderate to good yields were observed with satisfactory substrate scope and functional group tolerance. The developed protocol represents a practical strategy for the construction of bioactive aryl-fused indolizin-3-ones.

A ruthenium-catalyzed C-H alkylation/cyclization sequence is presented to prepare silyl indenes with atom and step-economy. This domino reaction is triggered by acyl silane-directed C-H activation, and an aldehyde controlled the following enol cyclization/condensation other than β-H elimination. The protocol tolerates a broad substitution pattern, and the further synthetic elaboration of silyl indenes allows access to a diverse range of interesting indene and indanone derivatives.
